   I researched this hub quite extensively and hoped that people may be interested in voting or/and commenting.  It is surprising as to what the results are, so take a peak?

      Great Hub, Shazwellwn - I've voted.
      I haven't heard of some of the names. What planet have I been living on or more like what Radio Station have I been listening too? lol

         Well, what a great way to experience new music!  It doesnt matter when you discover it... good music stands the test of time!  For example, I didn't discover Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here until the late 80's.  Through word of mouth it stood the test of time and it is still one of the best. Same with Dark Side of The Moon.  Pink Floyd was a defining band.
         
         Radiohead's O.K Computer, is now thought of as a classic.  Many people still havent heard of it. Kid A was released earlier in the noughties, but it is still rated - even in my poll, as no 2.  This is the one that will stand the test of time!  Radiohead are a defining band.  Note how they appear in the poll - 3 times! As you maybe aware, this was compiled from the best two albums from each year, from Rolling Stone Magazine and the NME.
         
         The Horrors album is a fantastic piece of art.  But it is still fresh in people's mind.  It will be interesting to see how this will stand the test of time - say two years time, will it still be voted in the same way?

    Things are changing in this poll.  The Horrors are in the lead, but have lost some of their gain, now at 38%.

    It's Kid A for me, as it's the thing I still play most repeatedly from the nominations, but there's loads of cracking stuff there. Surprised to see the Horrors so well known; I thought they were way less popular than they appear to be.
    
    
    I responded....
    The Horrors are one of the 'secret society' where shoegazers, look side-ways at each other - give a nod and wink and slither off into blue yonder knowing that they have met a fellow Horror follower. They slink off into the darkness and disappear in a depressive dark hue of the moonlinght.
    
    Many Horror fans have demonstrated this on this hub. They made a journey here, stole a vote and slunk off without a sniff of a comment. hehehe

             Hi again, my friend.  The list is a short list from two sources - Rolling Stone Magazine and NME.  It loathed me to compile it against my heart, but I had to take the correct information from a reliable source, compiled over the ten years.  I havent heard a lot from some of them - will be doing some back catalogue listening next year!
             
             If the Kaiser chiefs are what you want from the list, then please feel free to vote... http://hubpages.com/hub/Vote-For-The-Al … The-Decade ... they need all the help they can get because The Horrors still have a huge advantage over the others!
             
             I tipped the Chiefs for the top back in 2004 and it is great to see that they have consistantly done well.  The second album is pretty good too!  The drummer, who writes the material, is a true master, whilst the lead singer is an execellent, carismatic performer!
             
             Next year, I will do another, but this time it will just be for the year, so more choice and more open.
             
             Have you any tips for the top, next year?  I recon Stornaway is gonna be popular, the Maccabees are going to be the new Kaisers and Lyrebirds - amongst the big pink, the drums and the bombay bycicle club.
             
             What do you tip, mate?

    I am really glad you commented, thanks. As you can see in my hub, the research was done from two sources - it isnt a personal selection. The compilation was taken from positions first and second from the stated years - NME and Rolling Stone Magazine. Much on the list, I havent even heard of myself, but will endeavour to give a listen - good education for great music that I may have missed!
    
    I loved Vampire Weekend's debut! I saw them at Festivals and Bristol on Halloween of 2008. They really grew on me, loved the oh sooo Peter Gabriel! lol Not heard much from the new album, but sounds ok, so far... similar to the debut?
    
    Anyway, I understand you not voting. The problems with short lists, typical of all polls, is that many great bands are left without a mention!
    
    I love it when people post their own lists! It helps expands all our minds into new unknown musical territories! x
    
    Would love some response!  Come on if you dont want to vote, then tell the world your Albums for the decade!  Comments of this hub will be soooooooo kewl!

       I'm afraid I wasn't a fan although I did listen/watch the video on Shaz's hub in its entirety.  Album of the decade? Not compared to the likes of Radiohead or some of the other big names on that list, I'm afraid.  I don't think The Horrors have done much in the US, but I could be totally off base there.

       Hi Ryan!  Britpop was pretty big in the U.S, wasn;t it? Radiohead, Blur, Pulp and Oasis. Today, the likes of Editors and Kaisers has had an impact.  I think that forums like these are pretty good in spreading the word too.  If we can mix it up a bit, we can have a good merging of the scene. 
       
       I know that NYC - particularly Brooklyn (the cake shop and Ballroom) is really exciting at the moment.  Much of the music I like comes from NY.  It is a music gathering place for musicians.
       I really like The National and A Place to Bury Strangers - both are brooklyn bands.  I am intending on spending some time there in the future.
       
       Check out some emerging music from Brooklyn, it will surprise you as to how British it really is! x
